I'm a fitter/machinist Dan. I have helped other people out previously with different projects along the way. I love helping people, however the biggest reward is the ones who truly and genuinely appreciate your time. 

The last guy I helped I realised the extra cash is just a sweetner, as unfortunately the appreciation was more of an expectation... I struggled alot with motivation. 

 

However the guys who give good feedback, it honesty wouldn't worry me if I got paid or not lol 

 

Thanks for the feedback and compliments as usual mate ?

OK so as long as I'm really appreciative you will come to my place and finish my car, sounds good. Hell I'll eveb fly you down here ;)

Quality makes sense given profession.

"12 Primera Street" I see what you did there.

You like that? ?

Sounds good to me man! Lets make it happen ?

I've always been interested in custom car fabrication/sheet metal work etc since I was an apprentice. Did an advanced welding course to learn some more about tig welding and the sheet metal, I just make up as I go along.

Maybe I can have SAU build my car. 

Timmy can build and fab, @Dose Pipe Sutututu can tune it, and we can do a GoFundMe to pay for it all lol  

Oh shit! Here we go. It's happening ?

 

You get a free car build, you get a free car build and you and you ??

 

Never thought of a gofundme for something so important! ?

and while we at it, we can fund the tuner (me) a F30 335i M-Sport with a factory LSD lol...

I will contribute to that a fund a built R33

While we're all in the giving mood! Why not? 

Yeah it works well, I give my R33 to the fund, somehow someone trades/strips/sells that and turns that into a BMW for me, and i"ll tune the car, and you get paid for fab work :)

All the extra cash can go into our pockets.. what an idea, just as good as that LMCT plus site!

What could possibly go wrong!?

Very minor update. 

 

It drives. Drove it approx 10m out the back to give it a wash. 

 

Still a few things to sort out, like rusty rotors, ordered the rest of my exhaust components today, a dual flow meter setup for my tig regulator so I can back purge this exhaust, double check everything and off to get a tune. 

 

Thanks for reading ?

Dyno when? 

I'd like to say early November. I've got a weeks holiday coming up, so unfortunately there won't be any progress then as we're going away. 

 

I'd estimate 3 or 4 days to make the exhaust, back purging everything as I go, including modifying the engine crossmember for clearance. 

 

Another few hours in a wheel alignment (currently in track setup) too before I trailer it down there, so then I can drive it home once finished.

Which page/post has the negine specs so I can review first lol 

Oh and what dyno does he run.

This engine is a stock P12 SR20VE. Stock cams, stock head, springs etc. Stock bottom end. However has been shimmed to 0.01mm factory specs. 

 

Engine is only running the alternator, no P/S pump, water pump or A/C

4-1 to 3" collector headers

3.5" - 3" mafless intake pipe

Haltech Elite 1500

That's basically it man. 

 

This is basically an interim engine, partially to make the car more enjoyable for me and so I can teach the wife (or she can teach me) how to drive on the track lol. 

 

Then I'll finish off the P11 engine. 

 

Jez uses a Mainline Dyno from memory.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
